This month has felt very long, which is probably why I’ve been able to write this post on the 28th. Already settled back into the routine of Crochet & Residential Care Home Classes, in the latter we were making pictures to fit into fridge magnet photo frames. In between classes I’ve been busy crocheting and even a little gardening.

Despite this being a double month, there’s been very little crafting going on. Life got in the way with summer holidays and a house move.

Amigurumi Baymax
My New Year blog post catch up continues. I’m now working through all the part written posts. I started this last August, it’s only been on hold because I hadn’t embroidered the eyes. That’s been rectified today so I can get it marked off. Sometimes I volunteer to do things without really knowing if I can. “Sure I can make a Baymax” being a case in point.

Amigurumi Halloween Skull
Thought I’d have a go at working up a quirky amigurumi for Halloween. Nothing says scary like DK on a 3 mm hook, right? ?

Amigurumi Sloth
I don’t know about other crafters but I find I don’t often have to go looking for projects, I’m lucky enough to have friends who show me ones they think I might find interesting or quirky.

Amigurumi Elephant 2
One of the ladies who comes to the Wool Haven crochet classes is interested in amigurumi and brought a pattern she purchased from Etsy to show me. Of course I wanted a shot at it.

This is the second pattern used in the amigurumi class and was used to introduce the bobble stitch.
